Welcome to Shotokan Karate!
First, let me take a moment to thank you for the opportunity you have allowed me. It is with great pride that I introduce Shotokan Karate and myself to you and/or your children. This art is one that comes with rich history and is one of the finest martial arts styles in the world. Shotokan karate will not only focus on self defense but also on self discipline. Its fundamental values include: to seek perfection, to be faithful, respect of others, and to refrain from violent behavior. These are only but a few of the qualities associated with this style.
Secondly, I will make every attempt to teach everything I have learned over the years. All I ask is patience, hard work, and dedication. Patience: to understand that not everything is learned overnight, and that through hard work and dedication, anything is possible. Please, at anytime, feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions or concerns.
My qualifications in Martial Arts: Currently hold the rank of Ni Dan (2nd Degree Black belt) in Shotokan Karate. I am a member of the International Shobukan Shotokan Karate (lSSKA) who is affiliated with USA National Karate Federation with voting rights on the USA Olympic Committee. My current instructors are Many DaCosta (4th DAN) and Masaya Kohama Kancho (6th Dan out of
Lastly, I hope that we can all grow together, not only in Shotokan Karate, but as a family. Take pride in knowing that anyone who shares the love I have for karate is family and will be treated as such.
Sincerely
Sensei Walter Alvarado
